Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that applications are now open for the 6th edition of the Barcelona Summer School for Advanced Modeling of Behavior (BAMB! 2026).
Dates: July 12–23, 2026
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Application deadline: 6 March 2026 (midnight Pacific time)
Apply: www.bambschool.org
BAMB! is an intensive two-week training program for PhD students and early-career researchers in cognitive science, computational neuroscience, and neuro-AI. The school combines lectures, hands-on tutorials, and group projects to provide both the conceptual foundations and technical skills for modeling and analysis of behavior. The school is organized by the Centre de Recerca Matemática.
Who should apply:
The course is intended for PhD students and postdocs in cognitive, systems, and computational neuroscience with a solid background in computational/quantitative analysis. Proficiency in Python is required. We seek a blend of experimentalists and theoreticians.
A limited number of travel grants and childcare grants will be available. Scientists from underrepresented groups and countries are especially encouraged to apply.
Topics covered:
Modeling fundamentals
Decision-making
Foraging and sequential decision-making
Reinforcement learning
Structure Learning
Complex Motor Behaviors and Time Series
Organizers:
Alex Hyafil (CRM, Barcelona)
Marion Rouault (CNRS, Paris Brain Institute)
Heike Stein (CNRS, Sorbonne, Paris)
Chris Summerfield (Oxford / Deepmind)
Klaus Wimmer (CRM, Barcelona)
Tarryn Balsdon (CNRS, ENS-PSL University)
Nisheet Patel (Axy)
Manuel Molano-Mazón (UPC Barcelona)
Diksha Gupta (UCL London)
Nuria Hernández (CRM, Barcelona)
Keynotes:
Megan Peters (UCL)
Marcelo Mattar (NYU)
Guest Faculty:
Medhi Khamassi (ISIR, Sorbonne University)
Charlie Wu (TU Darmstadt)
We would be grateful if you could forward this announcement to potentially interested students and colleagues.
Best regards,
The BAMB! 2026 Organizing Team
